If you have a handle on the value of the house, can make an offer that protects you and adhere to the contingency deadlines like inspection and financing,  a buyer's agent does nothing but waste your time and cost you thousands.  

Or Realtors who have great contractor relationships and in this tight market control their inventory.. they get commission coming and going and a profit bonus.... this is what my goals are for my ground partners.. and so who cares what I make or how much fo the deal comes to me for doing NOTHING...

Thanks,Hey Joel,If you are tight on PITI, then I usually recommend looking into an interest only loan, maybe on a 5-10 year IO plan, to lower your payment and see if you can squeeze it in.Plus, rates are starting to dip a little bit, so it makes it a little more doable, especially if you just do a rate and term refinance to help keep your rate lower.

For example I'm thinking of David Greene's suggestion that you agree up front to provide a monetary incentive for the GC to get the work done correctly and on time, along with a penalty for blowing past the deadline.

Just for reference, RAP is a fairly tight community.

@Karolina Powell..I'm adding my $0.02 as a mortgage broker who does the types of loans you're talking about, works with a lot of investors over the years, and who also has done multiple closes for clients in a tight timeframe/same day/etc.
